Please tell me a game that used the same XP system. And the only pre COD4 console Medal of Honor I played was Frontline and it didn't control anywhere near as tight as COD4 does. If it was that great it would have influenced other FPS, but it didn't. The control scheme COD4 uses started being used in every FPS after COD4. | |
CoD4 was actually a good game and did in fact innovate. And with that said... That and 2 were the only good CoD's. CoD reminds me a lot like THPS and Guitar Hero.... both innovative, and series owned by Activision, that were great the first few games, but because of milking, died and only ruined its reputation. Now, did CoD4 change gaming for the best? Looking now, I don't think so. | |
cod4 yes, then they ruined the series with yearly crappy games --- PSN: Manu-Kesna GT: ManuKesna | |
mmpepsi posted... Please tell me a game that used the same XP system. Now why would I waste time making the effort to look through my games and find one that came out before CoD4 that uses an XP system that is similar when all you'll do is come up with some crappy excuse to say it doesn't count? That doesn't alter the fact that they still used the same control setup. Lol, yeah sure, you do know that CoD started after MoH did right? And when CoD first came around it was pretty much the same thing as MoH? Right down to the controls CoD was nothing but an MoH clone, MoH started using the control setup CoD uses long before CoD4 even existed. Face it kid, CoD4 didn't innovate a damn thing, nor did any CoD title for that matter. --- I am a dedicated member of the "Walter Sullivan Is Bad-Ass" group!!! I am the true originator of the Cookie Demon theory on the SH2 and 3 boards. | |
cod4 is innovative for the wrong reasons. every FPS out there now tries to copy it and fails. | |
Modern Warfare was good but it wasn't innovative. Console controls and a good online had already been mastered with Halo 2. The XP system was nice but that's not innovative. For most people, especially PS3 owners it was their first proper fps game they played. | |
riddlebox89 posted... mmpepsi posted...Please tell me a game that used the same XP system. You'd be wasting your time because you wouldn't find a game that has it. You just have blind hatred for Call of Duty that's making you say silly things. And no, the first Call of Duty and Medal of Honor felt pretty different. In Call of Duty you were just one soldier in a big battle. In Medal of Honor you were a super soldier going everywhere on your own murdering Nazi's. Sure there were a few times you were with other soldiers, but for the most part you were alone. Not saying it's a bad thing, but I am saying MOH and CoD were pretty different. Skunkdog1 posted... cod4 is innovative for the wrong reasons. every FPS out there now tries to copy it and fails. So you're saying it should have been a bad game so no one would have copied it? What are these wrong reasons it was innovative for? I'd love to know. Seems like they did those things to bring some new great stuff to their series which CoD3 showed was getting stale. | |
How does it innovate? By giving pretty graphics? Big deal a lot of games do. The game is nothing special and it's a completely overrated series. The online multiplayer is overrated boring garbage too. It's just a game with lots of explosions and that's why people like it. |

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
The RSS Feed is one of my favorite features and also one of the easiest ones to master. The RSS Feed will automatically update Outlook with the latest post from your favorite blogs. Best of all, you can search through the posts in the same way that you search through your Inbox or contact list. We find the RSS Feeds right down below our Inbox. When I click on it, you can see that I currently don't have any blog posts, but I want you to make notes of the little orange icon. Now what we're going to do is we're going to take a trip out to the Internet, and we're going to go to one of our favorite blog spots.
In this case, we're going to the lynda.com blog. And what you're going to look for is that same icon, which you can see right here, that little orange icon symbol, and this is where we can subscribe to the RSS Feed. So what I'm going to do now is click on that icon, and nothing really exciting happens yet, other than the fact that I now have kind of a cryptic URL up there. And what I need to do is copy that. So I'm going to click, which highlights that entire URL.
Then I can either hold down my Ctrl key and hit the later C, or you prefer, I can do a right-click and Copy. Now armed with that information, I'm going to head back to Outlook, and I'm going to go back to my RSS Feeds area. I'm going to right-click, and I'm going to add a new RSS Feed. Now if you really want to do this the hard way, you could simply type in that URL, or you can click in that box, hold down your Ctrl key, and hit the letter V to paste it in.
Click Add and answer Yes to the prompt, and in a moment you'll start to see all of the blog posts. Now these works exactly like e-mail, and you can click on any of the posts and read it in the Preview Pane, or you can double-click on one of the posts to open it up. Now just like with Email, you can search through the blogs. I heard that there was a really cool article on virtual choirs, and I'd like to see that. But I'm not sure which article it appears in.
So I'm going to click at the top of the blogs and type in simply choir, and as I type, sure enough, Outlook was able to find the article that I wanted.

Mariah Carey on 'Idol': She'll Be Kooky, Wacky -- But a Tough Judge, TV Experts Say
Mariah Carey -- your new $18 million American Idol judge -- has had her wacky moments.
But when she takes her chair in next season's Idol, as one of the show's three judges, 42-year-old Carey isn't expected to be a particularly wacky judge, Idol experts say.
Instead, she will be -- if anything -- hard, critical of contestants with her high bar of singing skills.
What do the experts say?
"What I'm hoping from her, is that she has the potential to be a little bit of a villainess," Lyndsey Parker, Idol beat reporter and expert for Yahoo!, told Celebuzz, hours after Carey was announced as the new judge.
"I don't see her being like Steven [Tyler] and J.Lo and telling everyone they're nice and wonderful and beautiful. I see her as being as kind of a tough broad who really shoots straight."
Parker noted about the prospect of seeing a wacky Carey:
"Obviously, she has a bit of a wacky past. And people will tune in, rubbernecking, to see if she acts wacky. I definitely think she brings some wacky fashions to the table. She will be wearing something crazy that will give me inspiration for Halloween costumes. But I don't necessarily think she's going to be wacky. She's obviously eccentric. But I hope she's going to be tough. That's what a lot of American Idol viewers want."Carey's name was floated for weeks as the next likely Idol judge -- and here we are. Carey, one of music's best selling performers of all time, is set to reportedly earn at least $17 million for next season, the Huffington Post has reported -- more than her predecessor J.Lo made.
It is her first major foray into the public spotlight for Carey since having twins last year, Moroccan and Monroe. Carey told 20/20 last year that it was a difficult pregnancy, at 40 years of age.
Need a freshener-up on a few of Carey's wackier moments?
In 1997, Carey said she feels as if butterflies follow her around, while promoting her CD, "Butterfly."
In a 2011 appearance on HSN, Carey was particularly loose, cracking wise and waxing emotional after having babies. Carey said she was going to "have a fragrant moment" -- and been trying to dress "camouflagian" while pregnant. Carey also said she was 47 weeks pregnant -- an apparent attempt at exaggerating how intense her pregnancy was.
Carey memorably described some of her pieces as "kind of pow."
Not Kooky For "Years"
Another inveterate Idol watcher, The Hollywood Reporter's Shirley Halperin, who wrote the book American Idol: Celebrating 10 Years (Your Offical Backstage Pass), describes Carey as not so much a wild card now, as a reasonable fit for the show's aging fanbase.
"She hasn't had really insane behavior in years," Halperin told Celebuzz.
"I don't think we can expect someone who is kooky for the sake of being kooky. Mariah has a very quirky personality that doesn't come out in the public too often. You see it come out a little on her Twitter or cutesey inteviews with Nick Cannon.
"But we really haven't seen her in this role yet," Halperin added.
"She brings credibility, she brings devotion, [and] she should be a really good fit," Halperin said. "She can be kooky -- she can be like the Paula [Abdul] of the panel. We really don't know what we're going to get, which I think is kind of cool."
Catch one of Carey's wackier moments -- from 2011, showing her jewelry and clothing products on HSN. Do you think Mariah is going to be a wacky judge?

10 Then I heard a loud voice speaking in Heaven.

For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. |

One day, this research could lead to micro-sized robots that combine soft and hard parts, as the ant's body does. Much work in robotics today involves assembling small, autonomous devices that can work together.
But a difficult problem will emerge if the researchers try to create large robots based on the same design, Castro explained.
Ants are super-strong on a small scale because their bodies are so light. Inside their hard exoskeletons, their muscles don't have to provide much support, so they are free to apply all their strength to lifting other objects. Humans, in contrast, carry comparatively heavy loads due to our body weight. With our muscles supporting our body weight, we don't have as much strength left over to lift other objects.
On a human-sized scale, though, ants are overcome by basic physics. Their weight increases with their overall volume (dimensions cubed), while the strength of their muscles only increases with surface area (dimensions squared). So a human-sized ant, were it to exist outside of a horror movie, would likely not be so successful in carrying extreme loads at a human scale.
A large robot based on that design might be able to carry and tow cargo in microgravity, though, so it's possible that we may one day employ giant robot ants in space, "or, at least, something inspired by ants," Castro said.
Meanwhile, the engineers will study the ant's muscles closelyperhaps using magnetic resonance imaging. Computer simulations will also help answer the question of how to scale up similar structures.
Blaine Lilly, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, began this work with former student Vienny Nguyen. Nguyen earned her master's degree with this project, and is now a robotics engineer at Johnson Space Center, w

METALLICA in MOSCOW 1991 / Official DVD Release
Dear METALLICA, the management and the record company, since 1991, you have mentioned in countless interviews, that the Metallica show at the Tushino Airfield in Moscow on September 28th, 1991 was the best concert you have ever performed in your career. We, the fans, know that the whole concert was officially recorded. Through the years, pro-shot bootlegs of the complete Metallica show (in poor audio and video quality) found their way to the fans. But we also got official bits and pieces of your fabulous performance in the Metallica home video "A year and a half..." and on several single B-sides during the Black Album Era. Thousands of Metallica fans worldwide keep asking the same questions since 1991: "Why don`t we get to see more" "Why not the whole show" "Why not releasing the whole concert on DVD" We therefore kindly ask Metallica, the management and the record company to release this once-in-a-lifetime performance on DVD. With my signature and the above stated reasons I ask for a release. We, Metallica fans from all over the world, deserve it!

US 6985228 B2 Abstract An ellipsometric apparatus provides two impinging focused probe beams directed to reflect off the sample along two mutually distinct and preferably substantially perpendicular directions. A rotating stage rotates sections of the wafer into the travel area defined by two linear axes of two perpendicularly oriented linear stages. As a result, an entire wafer is accessed for measurement with the linear stages having a travel range of only half the wafer diameter. The reduced linear travel results in a small travel envelope occupied by the wafer and consequently in a small footprint of the apparatus. The use of two perpendicularly directed probe beams permits measurement of periodic structures along a preferred direction while permitting the use of a reduced motion stage.

Description The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/042,592, filed Jan. 9, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,798,512 which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Applications Ser. No. 60/311,035, filed Aug. 9, 2001, and Ser. No. 60/336,437 filed, Nov. 1, 2001, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The present invention relates to ellipsometric systems for measuring feature configurations on wafers. Particularly, the present invention relates to a compact ellipsometer having multiple measurement beams. The measurement beams operate alternately and in conjunction with a rotating stage such that linear stages for positioning the wafer may be operated within reduced travel ranges. Semiconductors are typically fabricated by depositing and etching a number of layers that are shaped and configured on the upper or top surface of a wafer. Controlling those fabrication steps and testing the wafer early during production helps to keep production costs low. An increasingly important technique for a non-destructive measurement of semiconductors is ellipsometry. In ellipsometry, a specifically configured probe light beam is directed to reflect off the wafer. The change in polarization state of the beam induced by the interaction with the wafer is monitored to provide information about the wafer. Ellipsometers have been used extensively to monitor thin film parameters such as thickness, index of refraction and extinction coefficient. More recently, ellipsometers have been used to monitor the properties (critical dimensions) of small, repeating, periodic structures on wafers. These periodic structures are similar to a grating and the measured data can be subjected to a scatterometry analysis to derive information about the structure. Information of interest includes, but is not limited to, line width and spacing as well as sidewall profile. Such periodic structures have distinct orientations. It has been found that the most useful information about such structures can be obtained if the probe beam of the ellipsometer is directed substantially perpendicular to the line structure. As seen in A conventional, ellipsometer is typically provided with a stage for moving the wafer through full linear motions FX, FY as well as rotation about the central axis so that the probe beam PB can be directed to each of the periodic structures PS in the appropriate direction (usually perpendicular to the line structure). The linear motions FX, FY are about equal to the wafer diameter WD. The wafer W moved during the measurement consequently occupies a travel envelope LE that extends in the directions of each of the linear axes about twice the wafer diameter. The travel envelope LE determines the minimal footprint of an ellipsometer apparatus. Recently, there has been a push to substantially reduce the size of ellipsometer apparatus. This effort is particularly directed to allowing an ellipsometer to be incorporated directly into a semiconductor processing tool. To achieve the desired miniaturization, stage system have been developed which reduce the total range of motion of the wafer, thereby reducing the travel envelope and consequently the footprint of the system (e.g. stages that implement a cylindrical coordinate system consisting of a linear and a rotational stage). The use of these stages has not significantly impeded the measurement of thin film parameters since such measurements are not effected by the direction in which the probe beam strikes the sample. However, such reduced motion stage systems have caused a problem with measuring periodic structures where the impinging direction of the probe beam PB has to correspond to a measurement relevant orientation of the periodic structure PS. As shown in This difficulty can best be seen in Accordingly, it would be desirable to develop an ellipsometer system, which can utilize a reduced motion stage but also provides for optimal measurement of both thin film parameters and periodic structures. In the present invention, a probe beam is selectively directed along two or more beam paths to provide two or more focused beams impinging in various impinging directions on a tested wafer. Two perpendicularly operating linear stages provide a travel area that is only a fraction of the wafer size. Combined with the linear stages is a rotating stage positioned with its axis of rotation perpendicular to the movement plane defined by the linear stages. The movement plane is preferably parallel to the top of the fixed wafer. The rotating stage rotates the fixed wafer within a rotation range such that a number of sectors of the wafer top are brought within range of the respective focal spot during consecutive sector measurement steps. During a sector measurement step, only the linear stages are operated to move the wafer along the focal spot. The focused beams are positioned in a number and in an angular orientation to each other that corresponds to the number of angular orientations of patterns within the measurement sectors. In the preferred embodiment, where wafer patterns have one measurement relevant orientation, two focused beams are provided in perpendicular impinging directions relative to each other such that the pattern can be measured in all four quadrants while still maintaining a perpendicular orientation of the pattern relative to the plane of the probing beam. Since two focused beams are utilized, the rotating stage operates only to adjust the wafers global orientation prior to the sector measurement steps and to rotate the predetermined sectors within the travel area so that is accessible by the focal spots. In the preferred embodiment, four sectors are defined for measuring a wafer in four consecutive sector measurement steps. The linear ranges of the linear stages are about half the wafer diameter, which significantly reduces the travel envelope and consequently the footprint of the apparatus. The goal of the subject invention could be achieved using two completely separate ellipsometers mounted on the same support system. In other words, two light sources, two sets of focusing and collecting optics, two sets of polarizers and analyzers and two separate detectors could be used. However, in the preferred embodiment, only a single light source and a single detector are used. This approach not only conserves space, but also reduces complexity as only one light source and one detector needs to be adjusted and characterized for the measurement. Preferably, a broad band light source is used to generate a polychromatic probe beam. At some point before striking the sample, optics are provided for either splitting the beam along two paths or selectively directing the beam along a first or a second beam path. After reflection off the sample, optics are provided before the detector to either recombine the previously split beam portions or selectively combine the two beam paths into a single path. In the preferred embodiment, movable mirrors are used to create two beam paths rather than splitting the beam to maximize the light energy being used for the measurement. The subject invention is not limited to any particular ellipsometer configuration. Those skilled in the art will be aware of many variants such as rotating polarizer (analyzer) or rotating compensator systems. The elements necessary to create the polarization state of the incoming probe beam and analyze the polarization state of the reflected beam can be located in the common path regions or in the separate path regions. If in the separate path regions, two sets of optical elements are needed as shown in the preferred embodiment illustrated herein. In the illustrated embodiment, a broadband rotating compensator (waveplate retarder) system is shown. Such a system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,973,787. A suitable rotating analyzer system is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,608,526. See also, U.S. Pat. No. 6,278,519. All of the above patents are incorporated herein by reference. In the illustrated embodiment, a pair of movable mirrors is provided for controlling the beam propagation. In a first position, the mirrors are located out of the beam path and allow the beam to travel along a first beam path. In a second position, both mirrors are located within the beam path and cause the beam to travel along the second beam path. The moveable mirrors are specifically configured to provide high position accuracy and repeatability for a large number of switching cycles. In the preferred embodiment, stepper motors that have a hollow shaft are utilized to rotate and control the waveplates. The stepper motors are placed such that the beam paths run through the hollow shaft of the stepper motors' axes of revolution. The hollow shaft assembly reduces significantly the space otherwise occupied by the mechanism for driving the waveplates contributing to a reduced footprint of the optical assembly. As a result, the optical assembly fits into the apparatus despite the increased number of individual optical components. The combination of single light source and single detector in combination with reduced travel range, multiple alternate focused beams, hollow shaft waveplate assembly and moving mirrors provides for an ellipsometry apparatus that has a footprint smaller than the travel envelope LE for a given wafer size. As noted above, the subject invention allows periodic structures to be measured from a preferred direction while using a reduced motion stage. It should also be noted that this system allows any measurement area to be measured from any direction. While it is generally true that maximum information may be obtained when measuring a periodic structure when the beam is directed perpendicular to the line structure, additional information may be obtained from measurements where the beam is also directed parallel to the line structure or even at a 45 degree angle with respect thereto. In cases where the measured structure is rather simple, this information alone might even be sufficient. The subject invention allows measurements from any desired direction. Such measurements could be used individually or combined in a regression analysis to more fully characterize the structure. According to Directional reflectance measurements are measurements for which a certain impinging direction of a focused beam relative to structure 6, 11 (see It is noted that for the purpose of general understanding, the elements illustrated in the figures are schematically shown without any claim for accuracy. Moreover, for the purpose of clarity, propagating beams are shown as solids. The ellipsometric apparatus 1 has a base 5 on which a first linear stage 4 is assembled. On top of the first stage 4 is mounted a second linear stage 3, which itself carries a rotating stage 7. The first stage 4 may have a first travel range TX (see The travel area TA is defined by the ranges TX, TY. The travel area TA is the area accessibly by focal spots 41, 81 (see The rotating stage 7 has a rotating range preferably of 360 degrees around an axis of revolution AR (see In the preferred embodiment, the wafer 2 has a wafer diameter WD (see Reflectance measurements are performed on essentially the whole wafer top 9 in a number of consecutive measurement steps where individual wafer sectors 91�94 (see The apparatus top 8 is dimensioned in correspondence with the base 5 and may extend beyond the footprint of the base 5 for the purpose of providing secured access to supply and communication cables (not shown) as is clear to one skilled in the art. In the preferred embodiment, a common light source and a single final detector are utilized in order for the optical assembly 12 to fit within the apparatus top 8 together with eventual other functional elements like, for example a well known focusing unit and/or calibration unit (not shown). The apparatus top 8 is positioned in a gap height HG above the rotating stage 7 such that the rotating stage 7 is externally accessible for placing the wafer 2 on it. In the preferred embodiment, the optical assembly 12 is configured to provide a first focused beam 40 (see A first moveable mirror 28 (see According to The final optical elements include the parabolic mirror 56 together with mirrors 57, a pin hole 58 and a holographic grating 59, which prepare in a well known fashion the terminating beam 60 for impinging and terminating in the final detector 61. In the preferred embodiment, the parabolic mirror 56 has a focus angle of 20� and a focal length of 100 mm, the holographic grating 59 is from Jobin Yvon, part number 543.02.190 and the final detector 61 is a CCD detector having 512 pixels, each corresponding to a different narrow wavelength bandwidth. The pin hole 58 includes a selectable element for changing the size of the pin hole so that the measurement spot size can be varied. The scope of the invention includes embodiments in which other optical features well known for alternately redirecting an incoming light beam are used instead of the moveable mirrors 28, 54. The scope of the invention is also not limited by a specific mode by which the moveable mirrors 28, 54 alternately redirect the incoming beams. For example, a configuration may be selected in which one of the moveable mirrors 28, 54 is in an in-position while the other one is in an out-position where it does not interfere with a light beam. The scope of the invention is also not limited by a particular shape of geometry of the beam paths or by any particular number and/or configuration of additional optical elements like, for example, mirrors 34, 74. According to The initial light beam 30 is provided by a light source, which may include but is not limited to a white light source 20, a lens 21, a UV light source 22, an ellipsoid mirror 23, a source pinhole 24 and a parabolic mirror 25. In the preferred embodiment, the white light source 20 is a tungsten light bulb, the UV light source 22 is a D2 UV-lamp, the ellipsoid mirror 23 has f=80 mm, and the parabolic mirror 25 has focus angle of 20� and f=50 mm. To obtain an ellipsometric measurement with high accuracy, polarization detection needs to be performed on the reflected beams 42, 82 (see also In the present invention, polarization detection is performed by rotating the waveplate (under computer control) around an axis of revolution, which is parallel to the propagation direction of the beam passing through the waveplate with the beam centered on the rotation symmetry axis. In the present invention, the polarization detection is at a high level of accuracy by introducing two alternately operating rotating waveplate assemblies 10, 14 such that each of the two reflected beams 42 is passed through one of the two rotating waveplates with only a single prior reflection induced by the parabolic mirrors 45, 85. The waveplate assemblies 10, 14 include hollow shaft stepper motors with their rotor axes being collinear with a center axes of the reflected beams 42, 82, which propagate parallel along the inclining path segments 46, 86. The highly compact size of the waveplate assemblies 10, 14 accomplished by the use of hollow shaft stepper motors contributes significantly to the reduced space consumption of the optical assembly 12 and its successful integration into the apparatus 1 despite the increased number of optical components compared to that of a conventional apparatus having only a single focused beam. Referring back to According to In order to perform the reflectance measurement, the second focused beam 80 impinges the second structure 11 within the second focal spot 81 along the second impinging direction and initiates a second reflected beam 82 that carries reflectance information away from the focal spot 81. The second focused beam 80 is provided by a second lens unit 77 and a second polarizer 75 that focus and polarize the initial light beam 30 propagating along the path section 71. In the preferred embodiment, the second lens unit 77 is similar to the first lens unit 37 and the second polarizer 75 is the similar to the first polarizer 35. A mirror 72 is spatially oriented to redirect the propagating beam from a horizontal beam plane towards the angulated oriented and lower positioned polarizer 75 and lens unit 77. The second reflected beam 82 is reflected by the parabolic mirror 85 from which it propagates parallel along the second inclining path segment 86. A polarizer 87 is placed after the second waveplate assembly 14 along the path segment 86. In the preferred embodiment, polarizers 87, 47 are similar. A mirror 73 is spatially oriented to direct the incoming beam along the second beam path within the horizontal beam plane. The second moveable mirror 54 is in an in-position where it interferes with the beam traveling along the end section 70. The second moveable mirror 54 reflects the beam again towards the parabolic mirror 56 and continues as described under The perspective views of Referring to Other factors like, for example, structural requirements, additional space for cabling and other well known components of an ellipsometric apparatus are secondarily defining the footprint of the apparatus 1. Other well known components may be part of the base 5 and/or the top 8. Such components may be required, for example, for controlling, processing, calibrating and/or focusing during the operation of the apparatus 1. Some of these components, like for example, a focusing unit and or a calibration unit may be placed on the top 8, which may additionally reduce the space available for the optical assembly 12. The sectors 91�94 ( Prior to performing a measurement, the wafer 2 is loaded on the rotating stage 7 by a wafer-loading tool like, for example, a robotic arm that holds the wafer 2 on its bottom surface via a vacuum fixture and releases the wafer 2 on the rotating stage 7. The gap height HG is selected to provide sufficient space for loading and unloading of the wafer 2 even when a pin lifter assembly is used to raise the wafer to allow the robot arm to slip underneath and pick up the wafer. Due to eventual loading inaccuracies or other limitations in the loading cycle, the wafer 2 is typically globally reoriented such that the orientation of the structures 6, 11 corresponds to impinging directions. The rotating stage 7 may be configured to perform such initial global orienting. In this regard, a flat or notch finding procedure may be performed followed by a mask alignment procedure using a pattern recognition system. The optical geometry relevant in that context includes an angle of incidence IA and a focusing angle FA (see As illustrated in The waveplates are mounted in the hollow portions of the rotor shafts, and are concentrically fabricated relative to the rotor axes. The absence of separate waveplate bearings and a mechanical transmission system greatly simplifies the design and provides at the same time for a more accurate rotation control of the waveplates. Since the rotor bearing of the stepper motor is also the bearing for the waveplates, specific bearing tolerances and tolerances for concentricity of the hollow portion of the rotor shaft are defined to meet the precision demands of optical assembly 12. In the preferred embodiment, linear actuator stepper motors from Eastern Air Devices were used. Another factor for keeping the size of the optical assembly 12 to a minimum is to utilize a common light source and a single final detector 61 as described above. In order to direct the initial light beam 30 and the reflected beams carrying the reflectance information, the moveable mirrors 28, 54 have to be switched into their in-position with highest accuracy over a high number of switching cycles. The movement and positioning of the moveable mirrors 28, 54 are provided by actuator units 29, 53. In the preferred embodiment, the actuator units 29, 53 linearly move the mirrors 28, 54. The actuator units 29, 53 are computer controlled and pneumatically operated. They provide custom designed hardened steel guides to achieve position precision over a large number of switching cycles. The precision requirements for the mirrors 28, 54 in their in-positions is 0.005� angular tolerance for 1 million switching cycles. A measurement of a wafer 2 within the inventive apparatus may be performed by the following steps. In a first step, the wafer 2 is loaded, fixated and eventual globally reoriented. In a second step, the first sector 91 is rotated and brought within the test area TA. Then, one of the first or second focused beams (40, 80) is activated to perform the desired measurements. Conceivably, all of the areas of interest within one sector could be measured by only one of the two beams. However, depending on the orientation of the structures and the type of measurement sought, it may be either necessary or desirable to use both beam (at different times) to measure all the features of interest in a given sector. For example, to gain further information about a periodic structure, two measurements might be made, one with beam 40 perpendicular to the periodic structure and a second with beam 80 parallel to the periodic structure. Once the measurements of the first sector 91 are completed, the rotating stage 7 rotates the second sector 92 within the travel area TA so that measurements in this sector can be obtained. After all predetermined sectors 91�94 have been measured, the wafer 2 is unloaded from the apparatus 1. The output from the detector 61 is supplied to a processor for analysis. The type of analysis performed is based on the type of measurement as is well known to those skilled in the art. For example, thin film parameters of a multi-layer structure can be characterized from multi-wavelength reflectometric or ellipsometric data using a theoretical model and the Fresnel equations. Information about small periodic structures (critical dimensions) can be derived using a diffraction model including, for example, rigorous coupled wave theory. (See U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,867,276 and 5,963,329, both incorporated herein by reference.) The scope of the present invention includes embodiments, where the apparatus 1 is configured to make reflectance measurements on work pieces having features suitable to be measured with ellipsometric techniques as described in the above. Further more, the invention includes embodiments, where the work piece is non circular, and at least one of the ranges TX, TY is less than a parallel width of the fixed work piece. In the preferred embodiment, two separate beam paths are provided within a single photodetector system as exemplarily illustrated by the final optical elements 56, 57, 58, 59 and the final detector 61. Nevertheless, the scope of the present invention includes embodiments in which two physically separate photodetector systems may be provided. In such embodiment, each of the two separate photodetector systems receives one of the two reflected beams 50, 70 thus further reducing the number of optical elements in the path of the reflected beams 50, 70. No moveable mirror 54 is present is such embodiments. Also, the scope of the present invention includes embodiments, where two separate light sources as exemplarily illustrated by the elements 20�25 are provided. In such embodiments, no moveable mirror 28 is present.
